Im not sayng that the 360 is perfect but for some idiot in efflixi\'s link to say that its complete garbage and ripoff is the most ridiculous, biased, and unsupported thing I\'ve ever heard. And of course, bnoth the system and the games will be come cheaper and better as time progresses. Everyone just wants to be a cynic about it when they really lack the xperience to make any valid argument. Heck its been out for about a week, the guy doesnt ven own one, how could he possibly rwrite anything with any knowledge behind it. He can\'t, and therefore he is an idiot, and then Valbrandr, no offense, says the article made his day, which made me a little mad that the guy is even getting support.


Well all in good fun :D

To say that it is complete garbage is false - the 360 is a powerful gaming system no doubt.  And while its core stats may be somewhat worse than the PS3, that doesn\'t mean the system won\'t turn out better in the end.  PS3 of course uses a revolutionary new processor architecture which increases its theoretical power well beyond the reach of the 360, but it is an extremely new system and that means game developers need to learn to develop for the new platform - this might not be good if its too hard to do - thus lowering the number of available games for PS3.  On the other hand if the developers don\'t have much trouble, then they also have a much more powerful unit to count on and can probabily do some neato stuff ;)

Besides all that I there is some anti-m$ sentiment when it comes to the 360 and I\'m inclined to fall into that category as well, though I appriciate the competition - it makes all the products better.  As long as there is still sony and nintendo in the game systems market, healthily competing then thats good.   If M$ rises to dominance in the game system market it would be devistating as the lack of competition would massively slow down new developments.

Alls im saying Gentar is that I hate microsoft... and when they try to take over the gaming market it basically pisses me off.  They own the PC world and now they are moving to console?  Personally I think that they shouldnt be allowed to.. looks like they are trying to move on to becoming a monopoly :(.. And I do have alterior motives, I dont want Nintendo being pushed even further out of the picture :(.  But I have heard many stories from a variety of differnt people abotu the 360.. mostly on the news and whatnot.. nothing good :(

I always wait for the bugs to get recognized and fixed in game consoles.  These mad rushes to buy new systems always amaze me.

I would like to see people boycott brand new systems.  When the console companies realize rushing products is hurting their initial sales, they would quit rushing and release a more decent product.

I recognize MS for what it is, but I live in the boonies where my DSL provider doesn\'t support Windows.  I don\'t have the skills to set Linux up properly(because living in the boonies means no support for Linux or Macs).  Therefore, I must run Windows.  I keep experimenting with Linux, and one day I will be Windows free.

I will buy an Xbox 360 at some point.  I want to play Oblivion on console.  I will buy it for PC for the modding, but from what I\'ve read(and heard in the Oblivion videos on their website), Oblivion will have modding capabilities through X-Box Live.

I like to play on consoles because(as previosly stated) the hardware is focused on gaming, so games run smoother, controllers react better, and when you beat the game, you beat the game.  I like playing on PC because I believe I have more control over things with all the keys and 180 degree mouse turns.

MS will win the game console war because that is what MS is good at.  But we can always hope!
Don\'t want to rain on your parade, so please put the floats away.

Screw Micrsoft and screw Sony.  I will never buy either console.  Why?  Because consoles suck.  I don\'t care for arcade-style games, which is really all consoles can do.  For the GOOD games you need a PC, with a keyboard and mouse.  FPS games don\'t work well using a gamepad, you NEED mouse-look to play them properly.  

Also, I\'m a Linux guy.  I don\'t pay MS for anything and I don\'t pirate their products.
